Description
Matures in 55 days
Tall/Long vines
This excellent home garden variety produces an abundance of 8-12 pale green burpless fruit with excellent flavor. Skin is thin, with crisp, bitter free flesh. For straighter fruit and easier harvest, try growing on a fence or trellis (make this decision before you plant the seed).
SOWseed outside in late spring after ground is thoroughly warmed. Plant 3-4 seeds in a group (called a hill). If planning to trellis the vines, each hill should be 20 apart. If allowing vines to trail along the ground, allow 4-6 between each hill.
THINwhen plants are 3-5 tall, thin each hill to a single plant.
GERMINATIONCucumbers are very cold sensitive and may not sprout if the soil temperature is below 60 degrees F. Germination in 5-10 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.
REMARKSHigh fertility and consistent soil moisture will stimulate growth and increase yield considerably. But too much moisture can lead to rot or disease.
